Suburban Assailant Killed

A Harvey man was shot and killed by police after he tried to run down an officer during a chase that began in Chicago Heights, authorities say.

Mateo Meza-Cortez, 29, was shot around 2:50 a.m. Friday at 159th Street and Loomis Avenue in Harvey, according to Demetrius Cook, the police chief of Glenwood whose officers were involved in the chase.

Meza-Cortez tried to run down a Glenwood officer with his car and the officer fired, Cook said. "The Glenwood police officer (was) in fear of his life," Cook said.

Now, the question is what was the offenders legal status in the U.S.? My guess is that he was illegal. We will be seeing even more of this stuff because Obama bypassed Congress and signed an Executive Order stopping the deportation of certain groups of illegals.

Is Harvey a Sanctuary City? The Media would do a great service if they mentioned when offenders are in fact illegal. Oh, I forgot that might alert the public to the magnitude of the "problem." But is it a problem if they all vote Democrat?
